Various positions will allow your throat to open more. I've found the best position for me is lying on my back with my head hanging over the bed. My Master stands and his penis is just the right height for my mouth. My mouth and throat in this position are in a straight line. At first I used my hands to pull him forward by the hips, now that we are both more comfortable, he goes at his own pace, but I still keep my hands on his legs so I can let him know if he is going too deep for too long. Plus the blood rushing to my head is a nice little rush. sigh...now I'm wishing he was at home...

A 69 position with me on top is also a good angle. I slide up and down his body and it allows him to go really deep in my throat.

As for gagging, at first I was really embarrassed by gagging, but he told me how much it turned him on and whenever we watch porn together I can see how excited he gets if the girl gags. Now that I know that he isn't disgusted about it, it's much better. I still get embarrassed, but now that is also part of the fun.

My biggest problem is remembering to breathe. It's really hard to breathe with something big in your throat. At first I would panic a little and pull back, but then I learned to control that and instead of pulling back I'd tell myself to just hold it and breathe. It takes a little more effort to breathe through your nose but once you conquer the panicy feeling it's better.

Good luck and remember have fun. Even if it's not perfect, practicing is a lot of fun.

MsUther- I'm not sure. I've never had any lasting effects, the throat burning and eye watering goes away almost right after. I would imagine that if your throat hurts for a long time after there might be reason for concern and you might want to slow down.
